"Gee whiz!" sighed Punks, "th
cop said 'twus ten miles out here to
th' cem'try. More like twenty, ain't
it, LonesumT" The yellow dog whom
Punks addressed beat his tall affirm
atively upon the sidewalk, as the boy
dropped to the curb for a rest.
"When It's dark," continued Punks,
"we'll shin th fence."
Punks had a vaguo idea that his
undertaking must be carried out
under a charitable mantle of dark
ness; he might not be permitted to
enter the cemetery, he feared, be
cause he had no "folks" there and
had not come with a funeral. He
was glad to reBt, anyway, for he was
very tired, and the dog was, too.
When Punks had started out that af
ternoon there had been a small hole
in his shoe. By the time he had
reached the cemotery. the whole bot
tom was off, and his foot had been
scraped raw in places. Ho had meant
to flip cars all the way out, but short
ly after leaving the downtown dis
trict, the yellow dog had claimed fel
lowship with him, and persisted In
keeping up with him. Punks flipped
twice after that, but It made him feel
sorry when the dog ran so hard to
keep even, so ho decided to walk
along with his new companion, whom
he dub'bed "Lonesum" when he noted
the appealing look In the dog's eyes.
Suddenly Punka Jumped up and
peered over the fence. "Yep, that's
it. It's tight next that big monu
mlnt with th' ball on top where John
ny and his old man is. Straight south
o' this fence post. We'll And It all
right in th' dark. Say! th' flow'ers
look kinder tired." Punks looked
ruefully at the big bunch of carna
tions which he held. He had spent
forty cents of his day's Income on
them, and that, coupled with the fact
that he had missed the evening's sale
of papers on account of this trip,
meant that he would have no supper.
When it was quite dark, Punks
dropped Lonesum and his flowers
over the fence and followed. Carry
ing the direction well in mind and
followed by LoneBum, who kept a dis
creet silence, Punks came to his
haven. It was a grans-grown and
weed-decorated. lot In an almost aban
doned part of the cemetery. To find
the wooden headboards that marked
the resting places of Johnny and
Johnny's grandfather, Punks had to
strike several matches; In the flare
of the third he was startled to see a
man sitting on a wire bench but a
yard or two away. Lonesum, too,
Raw the man, and for the first time In
his acquaintance with Punks, showed
fight. He bristled and growled so
threateningly that the stranger, who
had been asleep, awoke In bewilder
ment. The match had burnt quite down to
Punks' fingers before he realized that
the man was old and quite Harmless
In appearance, and then the visions
of arrest that had momentarily
floated before Punks' eyes faded
away. '
"Cut It out, Lonesum," he com
manded. "Th' old feller's all right."
The man sat up. He wore a frayed
and faded gray suit and big soft hat,
which, though Punks did not know It,
we would have recognized as the Con
federate uniform. Where his left
foot should have been, the end of a
wooden log appeared.
"Why, what you doing here, boy?"
the stranger Inquired.
"Same to you," answered Punks,
grinning. " 'Spose you toll me whet
you're doln'."
The old man laughed. "That's
fair," he said. "I'm Isaiah Rlddon,
of Tennessee, sir, I've an old com
rade sleeping here and I came to put
a few flowers there to show that the
South remembers her boys. Being
a Confederate, I feared his grave
would go unmarked to-morrow, and
I am the only one to do this for Tom
Morton. Tom and I were comrades
and fought with Thomas In Tennes
see. We shared blnnkets and rations
and Tout sometimes did sentry duty
for me; said I was young and frail
and ho was big and strong. Tom had
no people and I had none; wo were
everything to each other, but Tom
was killed and I wns left. This is nil
I can do for him. I live at an old
people's home and manage to get
enough together each year for a few
posies. It's a right smart walk out
here; that's why I went to sleep, I
guess."
"Say, shake!" exclaimed Punks,
holding forth his hand. "You're a
dandy If you walked. I did, too, but
I'm young and strong."
The boy, on his knees, was now di
viding his flowers Into two bunches.
"I come 'count Johnny and Johnny's
grandfather. This Is Johnny, this
little one; next's his grandfather.
Johnny, he was me sldo partner. I
come here to his fun'rel. That's how
I knew the place."
"We both came on the same mis
sion, then; to'decorate a comrade's
grave," said Isaiah.
"Well, I'm not doln' this all. John
ny gave me some money before he
died. He'd saved It up for this, and
he told mo not to forget his grand
dad Decoration Day. So I put some
more with It and got enough for
Johnny, too. Johnny did it three
years after his grandfather died.
Said he knew no one else would
'cause his grandfather was Confed
erate." "Why, let me help you, sir! An
other Confederate!" exclaimed Isaiah.
He knelt painfully down by Punks,
and the two tried to bring the matted
grass and riotous weeds into order.
"Johnny was mighty proud of his
grandfather bein' a soldier. We'd
talk nights 'bout It; we bunked to
gether had a box ' In summer and
went to th' newsboys' home In win
ter; Johnny's grandfather was th'
bravest man you ever heard of. Cnr
rled the flag right up to th' enemy
onct."
And so they went on, the old vet
eran and the young hopeful, fighting
old battles and winning again great
Victories, until, their task completed,
they arose, fired to the heart's core
with patriotism. Dut the hero of the
past and the one In the nmking, when
It came to leaving the cemetory, and
passing the caretaker's house. at such
a forbidden time of night, felt rather
dubious. Punka and the dog could
overcome the fence, but Isaiah hud
to give up after several attempts. "A
wooden leg's good as any other to
stand on, but In a case like this, It's
useless," said Isaiah. "I'll Just have
to go down the main road and out tho
gate. You go on over the fence."
"Yes, and let you get caught? Not
much!" declared Punks. "I'm going
to stay by you till you got homo."
The two were making their way to
ward the cemetery gate, followed by !
Lonesum, who came to heel like a
high bred hunter. But iBalnh's wood,
en leg would go thumpty-thump on
the gravel and Just as they passed tho
caretaker's ofllee, that functionary
durted out, calling, "Halt!" Lone,
sum again showed fight, but Punks
bndo him bo quiet, and tho throe
were driven before the caretaker to
ward the offleo, the captor threaten
ing shrilly that he was going to havu
the culprits locked up. As they
reached tho porch a young man In
the uniform of a colonel of cavalry
stepped out and askod:
"What's the trouble, Matthews?"
"Caught them this time two des
perate characters," answered the
caretaker.
Colonel Horton smiled as he in
spected the crippled old man and
thin, ragged boy,, before whom a
hungry looking dog stood in an atti
tude of defiance, as ono who says,
"Who touches these fellows gets
hurt."
"Came for flowers, Hint's what,"
complained the keeper. "Do It every
year and soil them over. I'll make
'em pay for It, now they're caught.
Thieves!"
Isaiah Rlddon drew himself up
very straight. "The hoy is all right,"
he said. "I know his story. You
wouldn't do anything to a little fellow
like that. And I, sir," addressing
himself to Colonel Morton, "am no
thief. You'd call me a Rebel, sir;
that I was once, but never a thief."

The colonel gazed at Isaiah. His

ho did that which brought the color

ton saluted Isaiah Rlddon.
The colonel soon had the story ol
tho adventure. Punks Insisted on
telling how the old man had walked
miles and miles to put flowers on an
old comrado's grave; Isaiah declared
that Punks, In carrying out his prom
ise to Johnny, had showed u soldier's
spirit, and finally the colonel took the
old man, the boy and the dog, in
charge.
The following morning, in the
Memorial Day parade, the spectators
ninrveled to see nn old, white-haired
man, in the uniform of a Confederate
soldier, riding In ono of the foremost
carriages as the guest of the colonel
of the regiment. They had already
noticed, by the side of tho. colonel, a
boy who rode his horse as though it
was an old story to him; it was a boy
who had been appointed tho colonel's
special aide for the day, and if any
one had asked him his name he would
have answered "Punks." And also,
close to the heels of Punka' horse,
there trotted a yellow dog, a good
meal within and a happy look In his
eyes. Tho spectators couldn't know,
however, that these were not the last
of the good things that were to fall
to Isaiah and Punks and Lonesum;
there were, In fact, many more good
times to come, for the colonel was
rich, but better thnn thnt, ho had a
heart of gold. Ram's Horn.
Thin NklnnrdiiPHH.
"The most unpleasant kind of van
ity to meet with," writes a reader, "Is
thin sklnnedness. The thin-skinned
person is always on the lookout for
slights and takes every allusion to
himself. His amour propre must be
consulted on every occasion, thereby
making every one around constrained
end unnatural for fear of hurting
him. He Is a wet blanket every
where, and one cannot help a feeling
of relief whenever he leaves." Hume

The Two Kinds of Vanity.
"There are two kinds of vanity,"
points out ono render. "The super
ficial 'powder puff' feminine vanity,
tho masculine 'swagger,' are nlwuys
apparent and comparatively harm
less. But the people who will never
brook Interference, never own to a
fault, who aro never In tho wrong,
never doubt themsolves, never, change
in opinion and who always 'do every
thing for the best,' these are the
vain ones indeed. Their vanity is
not always apparent nt first, but It is
nil the more harmful because It lies
deep." Homo Clint.

A Block of Magncsln.
floro is a way to clean a white
lace waist that Is equal to any dry
cleaning process and ono that re
quires an outlay of only a few cents
Instead of tho dollars usually re-
quired to make a Boiled luco waist
again presentable. This Is nothing
more formidable than a simple cake
of magnesia. Rub the magnesia
thoroughly over tho garment In ques
tion, paying extra attention to the
more, soiled places, roll It In a cloth
and lay It away for several days;
then shake It lightly to dislodge any
of tho chalky substance that may
cling to It, and you will behold a
metamorphosed waist that will de
light your eyes with Its freshness.
Greaso nnd dirt may also be re
moved from silk nnd woolen clothes
by tho uso of magnesia. Scrape a
quantity upon the spot, cover with
brown paper and placo a hot flat-iron
over It. Tho heat of tho Iron acts
upon the mngnesla In the same way
thnt it does upon French chalk, which
used to bo employed for tho same pur
pose; nnd when tho Iron and tho pa
per nro removed and tho magnesia
brushed off tho offending spot will
have disappeared. Tho Housekeeper.
